Applications of Magnetite Nanoparticles for Heavy Metal Removal from Wastewater

EXAFS and DFT study of the cadmium and lead adsorption on modified silica nanoparticles

“…Among them, adsorption is considered as one of the most suitable methods due to its ease of operation and the availability of a wide range of adsorbents. Organofunctionalization of adsorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions from water has attracted great research interest in the last decade due to the advantages of achieving high efficiency and good selectivity [4,5]. In particular, amines have been used to functionalize silica [5] to synthesize sorbents for heavy metal ions removal from aqueous media.…”

A review on the classification, characterisation, synthesis of nanoparticles and their application

“…Titanium oxide High surface area, magnetic, inhibits bacterial growth [35] Iron oxide Reactive and unstable [53] Magnetite Magnetic, highly reactive [54] Silicon dioxide Stable, less toxic, able to be functionalize many molecules [55] Zinc oxide Antibacterial, anti-corrosive, antifungal and UV filtering [56] Cerium oxide Antioxidant, low reduction potential [57] Aluminium oxide…”

Biocompatibility and Hyperthermia Efficiency of Sonochemically Synthesized Magnetic Nanoparticles

“…2,3 Likewise, this compound exhibits special magnetic properties and has appropriate surface characteristics. According to these features, Fe 3 O 4 -NPs have potential applications in various¯elds such as magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst, [4][5][6] energy conversion and photocatalyst, 7,8 environmental a®airs such as water puri¯cation and heavy metal removal, [9][10][11] and biological and medical applications. [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] Up to this time, chemical, physical, mechanical and some novel approaches such as biological methods 22 were used for synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 -NPs.…”
